Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a siphon device, and more specifically, to an automatic continuous siphon device for precipitated supernatant liquid. Background Art
[0002] During the process of chemical precipitation or dissolution, it is often necessary to separate the supernatant liquid from the precipitate. The commonly used separation method is to siphon the supernatant liquid. The traditional siphon method is to insert a siphon hose into the supernatant liquid to siphon out the supernatant liquid. During the process, it is necessary to closely monitor the liquid level of the supernatant liquid, and adjust the insertion depth of the siphon tube as the liquid level of the supernatant liquid drops. Otherwise, the liquid suction end is likely to expose above the liquid surface and air enters, causing the siphon effect to fail. Moreover, due to light refraction, it is difficult to observe and judge the liquid-solid interface, and the siphon tube is likely to be inserted too deep into the precipitate layer, resulting in the precipitate being sucked away along with the supernatant liquid. In the continuous use of the siphon tube to separate the supernatant liquid and precipitate in different containers, it is necessary to manually fill the siphon tube with liquid before each use to ensure the siphon effect. This siphon operation control is cumbersome and inconvenient, and the labor intensity of workers is high. Therefore, it is necessary to design a siphon device that can improve the operation. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model designs an automatic continuous siphon device to ensure that the siphon tube opening is always immersed below the supernatant liquid level before the siphon operation is completed, and gradually drops as the liquid level drops after continuous siphoning of the supernatant liquid, so as to ensure the continuous use of the siphon device. The operation of the utility model is simple and is suitable for continuous siphon operation to separate the supernatant liquid and precipitate in different containers.
[0004] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions.
[0005] An automatic continuous siphon device for precipitated supernatant liquid, comprising a liquid storage box 1 and a siphon tube 3. A liquid level gauge 2 for indicating the liquid level inside the box is installed on the liquid storage box 1. The liquid inlet end of the siphon tube 3 extends into the interior of the liquid storage box 1 from the center of the upper end face of the liquid storage box 1. A liquid inlet 4 is arranged in the middle of one side of the liquid storage box 1. Liquid inlet valves 6 and liquid outlet valves 7 are respectively arranged at both ends of the siphon tube 3. The opening and closing of the high and low positions of the liquid level gauge 2 are linked to control the opening and closing of the liquid inlet valve 6 and the liquid outlet valve 7.
[0006] Suspension balls 5 can be arranged on both sides of the upper end face of the liquid storage box 1, and the suspension balls 5 can keep the liquid storage box 1 suspended in the liquid.
[0007] The high position of the liquid level gauge 2 is slightly higher than the upper edge of the liquid inlet 4, and the low position of the liquid level gauge 2 is slightly lower than the lower edge of the liquid inlet 4.
[0008] The liquid inlet valve 6 is a one-way valve, and the position of the liquid inlet valve 6 is lower than the lower edge position of the liquid inlet 4.
[0009] The height difference between the upper and lower edges of the liquid inlet 4 is 5 - 20 cm. When the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 is higher than the upper edge of the liquid inlet 4 and triggers the high level of the liquid level gauge 2, the liquid level gauge 2 controls the liquid inlet valve 6 and the liquid outlet valve 7 to open successively, starting the siphon; when the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 is lower than the lower edge of the liquid inlet 4 and triggers the low level of the liquid level gauge 2, the liquid level gauge 2 controls the liquid outlet valve 7 and the liquid inlet valve 6 to close successively.
[0010] During use, place the liquid storage box 1 in a container containing supernatant and sediment. The liquid storage box 1 starts to sink under the action of gravity. When it sinks to the position where the supernatant reaches the liquid inlet 4, the supernatant flows into the liquid storage box 1 through the liquid inlet 4, the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 rises, and the liquid storage box 1 continues to sink. When it touches the floating ball 5, it remains suspended. When the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 rises to the high level of the liquid level gauge, the liquid level gauge 2 triggers the switch to open the liquid inlet valve 6 and the liquid outlet valve 7 successively, and the supernatant is discharged outside the container under the siphon action of the siphon tube 3 (it needs to be manually filled with the siphon tube for the first use). During the siphon process, the liquid storage box 1 is suspended in the supernatant under the action of the floating ball 5 and descends as the liquid level of the supernatant drops until it touches the surface of the sediment. At this time, the liquid storage box 1 stops descending. When the liquid level outside the box drops to the lower edge position of the liquid inlet, the liquid no longer flows into the liquid storage box 1. When the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 drops to the low level of the liquid level gauge 2 through siphon, the liquid level gauge 2 triggers the switch to close the liquid outlet valve 7 and the liquid inlet valve 6 successively. Thus, the siphon operation is completed, achieving the effect of separating the supernatant and the sediment. After use, the inside of the siphon tube is in a filled state and can be directly placed in other containers of the same type of material to continue the siphon operation, facilitating continuous operation of different containers.
[0011] The siphon device of the present utility model is used for the automatic continuous siphon operation of precipitated supernatant. Through the linkage of the liquid level gauge, the liquid inlet valve of the siphon tube, and the liquid outlet valve, continuous and automated operation is achieved. The operation is simple and efficient, and no process monitoring is required. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] In order to describe the present utility model more clearly, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0016] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, an automatic continuous siphon device for sediment supernatant includes a liquid storage box 1 and a siphon tube 3. A liquid level gauge 2 for indicating the liquid level inside the box is installed on the liquid storage box 1. The liquid inlet end of the siphon tube 3 extends into the interior of the liquid storage box 1 from the center of the upper end face of the liquid storage box 1. A liquid inlet 4 is provided in the middle of one side of the liquid storage box 1. Liquid inlet valves 6 and liquid outlet valves 7 are respectively arranged at both ends of the siphon tube 3. The high and low positions of the liquid level gauge 2 are linked to control the opening and closing of the liquid inlet valve 6 and the liquid outlet valve 7. Suspension balls 5 are arranged on both sides of the upper end face of the liquid storage box 1, and the suspension balls 5 can keep the liquid storage box 1 suspended in the liquid. The high position of the liquid level gauge 2 is slightly higher than the upper edge of the liquid inlet 4, and the low position of the liquid level gauge 2 is slightly lower than the lower edge of the liquid inlet 4. The liquid inlet valve 6 is a one-way valve, and the position of the liquid inlet valve 6 is lower than the lower edge position of the liquid inlet 4. The height difference between the upper and lower edges of the liquid inlet 4 is 5 - 20 cm. When the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 is higher than the upper edge of the liquid inlet 4 and triggers the high position of the liquid level gauge 2, the liquid level gauge 2 controls the liquid inlet valve 6 and the liquid outlet valve 7 to open successively, and siphoning starts; when the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 is lower than the lower edge of the liquid inlet 4 and triggers the low position of the liquid level gauge 2, the liquid level gauge 2 controls the liquid outlet valve 7 and the liquid inlet valve 6 to close successively.
[0017] During use, the liquid storage box 1 is placed in a container containing supernatant and sediment. Under the action of gravity, the liquid storage box 1 starts to sink. When it sinks to the position where the supernatant reaches the liquid inlet 4, the supernatant flows into the interior of the liquid storage box 1 through the liquid inlet 4. The liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 rises, and the liquid storage box 1 continues to sink. When it touches the suspension ball 5, it remains suspended. When the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 rises to the high position of the liquid level gauge, the liquid level gauge 2 triggers the switch to open the liquid inlet valve 6 and the liquid outlet valve 7 successively, and the supernatant is discharged out of the container under the siphon action of the siphon tube 3 (it needs to be manually filled with the siphon tube for the first use). During the siphoning process, the liquid storage box 1 is suspended in the supernatant under the action of the suspension ball 5 and descends as the liquid level of the supernatant drops until it touches the surface of the sediment. At this time, the liquid storage box 1 stops descending. When the liquid level outside the box drops to the lower edge position of the liquid inlet, the liquid no longer flows into the liquid storage box 1. When the liquid level inside the liquid storage box 1 drops to the low position of the liquid level gauge 2 through siphoning, the liquid level gauge 2 triggers the switch to close the liquid outlet valve 7 and the liquid inlet valve 6 successively. Thus, the siphoning operation is completed, achieving the effect of separating the supernatant and the sediment. After use, the inside of the siphon tube is in a filled state and can be directly placed in other containers of the same type of material to continue the siphoning operation, facilitating continuous operation of different containers.
[0018] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not limitations on the implementation manners. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
